Abstract
Long fiber reinforced thermoplastic direct molding (LFT-D) composites have received increasing attention recently in different industrial processes. However, no electrical conductivity of LFT-D composites greatly restricts further use of the materials. In addition, LFT-D composite materials often suffer from severe abrasion and corrosion in practical application. In this study, nickel-phosphorus coatings modified LFT-D composite materials were prepared by simple electroless deposition. The formed nickel-phosphorus coating could not only act as protective layer protecting LFT-D composites, but also act as functional layer endowing LFT-D composites good electrical conductivity. The effect of reaction temperature, pH value and molar concentration ratio on LFT-D composite materials performance were investigated. The nickel-phosphorus coatings modified LFT-D composite materials exhibited good electrical conductivity and excellent mechanical performance, making them significant potential for industry application.
